Lip Gloss Dupe?


My favourite everyday lip is a nude lipstick with a cherry red gloss on top. It makes a nice peachy colour and that looks natural and it matches with almost everything. My favourite cherry red gloss was Kat Von D's Sheer Lightning Sheer Lip Gloss in Fierce Red but I can't find it online anymore and I believe it's been discontinued. The problem I had with this was that the tube kept leaking so I couldn't bring it around with me for touch ups anymore without making a mess. I have recently found a dupe for it in the Victoria's Secret Lip Gloss Beauty Rush in Dandy Cane. It's less sheer than the Kat Von D one but it smells really nice and is slightly cheaper (I bought the Kat Von D gloss for $10 on sale at Sephora and the Beauty Rush one for $7 at Victoria's Secret).

My only complaint is that the Beauty Rush Gloss is in a tube and I find it more sanitary to use a doe foot applicator than using the tube itself on my lips.

A Dupe?

My previous post was my ELF haul and I had bought an ELF All Over Color Stick in Persimmon for my sister. She let me swatch it today and behold, it really reminded me of something else that I owned.

My favourite eyeshadow base is Benefit's Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow in RSVP and the ELF All Over Color Stick looked almost exactly the same.

They look pretty similar right? The ELF one is a lot creamier and dries slower than the Benefit Shadow though. It's pretty true to colour in this image, although the ELF looks a bit pink it's the angle the light is shining onto the swatches. RSVP happens to be my favourite base and I really recommend it! I got it in the $10 Benefit set from Sephora but as soon as I finish it I 'm definitely going to buy the full size. Here is some more photos with my bad camera skills haha.
